Answer to Question #302093 in General Chemistry for Hutchii

Question

Cite some proof that all molecules apply attractive forces on one another.

Answer 1

• The presence of cohesive forces between all molecules is proof that all molecules apply attractive forces to one another.
• Specifically, all molecules have London dispersion forces which are the weakest intermolecular forces but exist between all types of molecules ranging from ionic and covalent to polar and non-polar.
• Molecules with more electrons will have stronger London dispersion forces.
